PPM ViaLite Quick Start Guide
This quick start guide is intended as an information summary, the relevant equipment handbook should
always be treated as the master document.
Initial Inspection
Unpack and inspect the equipment as soon as possible. If there is any sign of damage or any parts missing, do not install the equipment before seeking advice from PPM
or your local agent. The equipment received should match the delivery note that is shipped with the equipment. If there are any discrepancies, contact PPM or your
local agent.
Electrical Safety
ViaLite LPS-M and LPS-R Power Supply Units are Safety Class 1 products (having metal case directly connected to earth via the power supply cable).
When operating the equipment note the following precautions:
•
•
•
Hazardous voltages exist within the equipment. There are no user serviceable parts inside, and the covers should only be removed by qualified technician.
The equipment does not have a mains isolating switch. Equipment must be installed within easy reach of a clearly labeled dual pole mains isolation switch.
Ensure that fuses of the required rated current and of the specified type are used. Fuse information is shown on the rear of the module and in the handbook.
ESD Precautions
Precautions for handling electro-static sensitive devices should be observed when handling all ViaLite modules. Technicians should ensure that they use
effective personal grounding (i.e. ESD wrist strap etc..) when servicing the equipment. Any equipment or tools used should be grounded to prevent static
charge buildup. Good practice should be observed at all time for reference see relevant standards.
EN 61340-5-1, “Protection of Electronic Devices from Electrostatic Phenomena – General Requirements
Optical Safety
The ViaLite RF Transmitter modules contain laser diode sources operating at 1290nm to 1613nm.
These devices are rated as EN60825-1:1994 as CLASS 1 radiation emitting devices.
When operating the equipment note the following precautions:
•
•
•
Never look into the end of an optical fibre directly or by reflection either with the naked eye or through an optical instrument.
Never leave equipment with radiating bare fibres – always cap the connectors.
Do not remove equipment external covers when operating.
Optical Connectors and Fibres
Ensure that all mating connectors are matched types. All PPM FC/APC equipment uses narrow key FC/APC connectors, these are not compatible with wide key
FC/APC. Optical connectors MUST be cleaned before use. Most performance issues are due to dirty fibres.
- Peel the plastic cover from an unused “N” cleaning pad.
- Hold the connector between your thumb and forefinger
Clean the connector using firm pressure by swiping in a
pendulum motion through each segment of the “N” shape,
following the diagram
- Do not swipe over the same space twice.
For more details please read the cleaning instruction which accompanies the connector cleaning kit. Details can also be found on the CD supplied with your equipment.
To connect FC/APC optical connectors, remove the dustcaps and align the white ceramic centre ferrule on the cable connector with the mating receptacle. There is a
key (lug) on the side of the ferrule, which must match the keyway (gap) in the receptacle shroud. When they are aligned, gently push the plug home and finger tighten
the knurled collet nut onto the threaded receptacle. Disconnection is the reverse of connection; replace the dustcaps on both the receptacle and the cable plug.
Only connect FC/APC cable to FC/APC modules
Locate connector key
Align key and keyway
To connect E2000 optical connectors, gently push the plug into the E2000 adapter until a click is heard and the connector locks. To disconnect, depress the lever at the
rear of the connector and withdraw the connector. The protective cover automatically engages and disengages, when inserted or removed.
Minimum Bend Radius of a simplex patch cable is typically 30mm, at this radius there will be a very small increase in loss due to the bend (~0.05dB)
Connecting and Disconnecting RF Connectors
This product uses a range of RF connectors. Please ensure that RF connections are made with correctly matched connectors and cable impedances. Failure to do so
may result in damage to the connectors and loss of performance. SMA RF connectors should only be connected with a calibrated SMA torque spanner.

Installation
19 Inch Rack Installation
The ViaLite 19” Rack Case is designed to fit 19” cabinets. Two options are available that occupy a height of either 1U or 3U. The Rack is provided with flanges for
mounting to the cabinet. The 3U Rack Case must be used with at least one plug-in LPS Power Supply Module. The rack backplane contains 15-way D-type data
connectors for each module position. This provides user access to data and voltage feed outputs from relevant modules. The pin-outs of these connectors are given in
the following section. There is also a common alarm concentrator 25-way connector providing access to alarm and monitoring information from all modules.
Power Supply Installation
The 1U rack and outdoor cabinets are supplied with power supplies pre-installed. The 3U rack LPS-M/R plug-in modules are installed by simply sliding them into either
of the two right hand positions, identified by a vertical line on the Rack Backplane PCB in position 9 or 10. Once the module is pushed fully home, tighten the corner
screws, which hold the unit onto the front rails of the rack case. If the equipment is to be operated in dual redundancy mode, one Main Power Supply (LPS-M) and one
Reserve Power Supply (LPS-R) will be required. The location of each is not critical.
Installation of Plug-in Modules
All ViaLite plug-in modules are hot-swappable, so it is not necessary to power-down the rack before inserting a module. Simply slide the module along the guides
ensuring that it does not foul the adjacent units. When the module is pushed fully home, tighten the upper and lower screws on the module front panel. Connections are
made at the rear of the unit, through the void at the rear of the rack case. It is advised that all unused slots be fitted with blanking panels. These are designed to fit the
7HP card slots used in either PPM’s 1U or 3U racks. They prevent accidental/unwanted access and the ingress of dust.
When operating RF fibre optics links the ideal operating input power is dependent on the end users system. However in all cases there will be the desire to achieve the
optimal SINAD. At low signal power this will be dominated by thermal noise and at high signal powers it will be dominated by distortion products. Typically a good quality
signal can be obtained by operating the link at a composite input power 10-20dB below the fibre optics link’s P1dB specification level (see handbooks).

RF Module Input/Outputs Levels
•
RF inputs and outputs should not be exposed to DC voltage levels in excess of ±36V.
•
Absolute maximum no damage RF input level is +13dBm (some unit will tolerate more, see handbook).
•
Absolute maximum no damage RF level applied to an RF output is +13dBm.
Some transmitter modules are pre-configured to have a DC voltage present on the RF input connector, to drive low noise amplifiers and similar equipment. Check
module handbook and description for more details.
Receiver modules: All receiver modules will create a 1-2Vpeak DC transient from the RF output at start up into a 50Ω load (approximately 5V into a 1MΩ load). This may
cause failure in some very sensitive spectrum analyzers or similar equipment.
All modules have AC coupled inputs and/or outputs and will be sensitive to large transients (>5V) applied to either input or output. This may result in permanent damage
to the units, particularly to low frequency units. Contact PPM for more details.
